Destiny had the same thing... If you could shoot from the Sparrow there'd be no reason to do anything else.

Why do you assume that any bad review is from someone who hasn't played the game? People are allowed to have negative opinions just as much as people are allowed to have positive ones.

Just because you are enjoying the game doesn't mean that everyone else has to too.

I never said I assume that every bad review is from someone who hasn't played.

But you can't ignore the insane amount of hate Ubisoft is getting for the most insignificant non-issues just because they're Ubisoft. It takes like a few seconds to notice how the troll armies are linking stuff from various clickbait YouTubers and streamers on social media, and no doubt a vast majority of negative feedback is coming from there.

I'm not ignoring the legit issues this game has, because they are definitely present. And I'm doing my part in reporting them to Ubisoft, instead of making trollposts about it on social media, so we can all enjoy a better game. Sadly that isn't part of the majority's crusade against Ubisoft, they're just out there farming internet points, banking on the circlejerk hate.

I can almost guarantee that the upcoming Metacritic user reviews are a prime example of "Hue hue Ubisoft bad".

Why do you feel the need to defend a large company from a negative image that they have created for themselves?

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not defending a large company.

I'm expressing my enjoyment of this game. I do not care what company is behind it.

The problem lies with the people that let their entire opinions be molded by the large company behind it.

So are you fine with people not enjoying the game if it's got nothing to do with Ubisoft? Because a lot of the reviews are just that.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It takes only a minute to check on Metacritic what the majority of negative reviews are about.

There are a few legit ones, but most are just trashtalking Ubisoft. Or saying horsecrap like "looks like PS3 games", which it clearly doesn't. Or every positive review is "paid by Ubisoft", and people even complaining about it being a woke political agenda, fucking lmao.

I strongly doubt these trolls even installed the game.

Most? Have you read all 600+ negative reviews?

Ubisoft has clearly made a name for itself by making mediocre content and this game has only reinforced that image but being upset about that is wrong apparently.

The game clearly doesn't appeal to the majority of players and that makes you upset. Blaming the "ubisoft haters" or the "anti woke" just sounds like you're trying to find a convenient scapegoat for why the game isn't doing well. If the game was good people would play it regardless of who the publisher is.
